18 vinyl pressings of Your Heart Keeps Burning are listed here, from 9 countries, released between 1985 and 1992.
The earliest pressings are from 1985, in Europe, Italy, Philippines, Portugal and more. One of them is Ariola 601 943.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 601 943, 601 650, 107 140, ARL 37134) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, DM 601943 A-2/85 S I and DM 601943 B-2/85 S I III. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
It depends on which pressing you have and on the condition of the record and its sleeve. Early pressings from the album's home country in near mint condition are usually worth the most; common later reissues are worth far less. Scan your copy with VinylLens to see its value for every grade.
